Imported, ofeourse/ \ w,,",m' O'U'A, MUNSON G, SHAW CO,. NEW YORK Cross," he said, with a faraway look in his eyes. "The Four Swans probably kept forty or fifty horses, and the F al- can must have kept close to two hun- dred. The terminus of the first stage out of London, before the coaches be- gan to branch off on their separate routes, was always a busy spot. I dare- say, though, that if we said to the pub- keeper across the street, 'Did you know that the Edinburgh Mail used to stop here every night!' he'd think we were out of our minds." I have no idea what aspect of coach- ing Selway intended to discourse upon at \Vare, where the second stage ended and the third began, for he never got a chance to deliver it. As we were en- tering the town, we became enmeshed in a traffic snarl that backed up the northbound automobiles for over a mile, and he was forced to improvise. He performed magnificently, I thought. To begin with, he asked Mrs. Sdway to take from the attaché case another book by Charles G. Harper, "The Road to Cambridge, Ely, and King's Lynn," and from it he read us ex- cerpts from the section about \Vare- how the town got its name, from a weir or dam that the invading Danes had built across the River Lea in the days of King Alfred, and how the Great Bed of \Yare, the town's one other claim to fame, was a fourposter of black oak some twdve feet square that had been presented to Edward 1\' when the King stopped in \Vare over- night, and so on. Then, growing rest- less after five minutes in which the line of cars had not moved an inch, he slapped the book shut and walked lip the street to reconnoitre. On his return, he asked Mrs. Sdway to get him still another book from the attaché case-"Bartholome'w's Road lV1aps of England." On the map of Hertford- shire, he worked out a flanking route around \'Tare, and after backing adroitly ollt of the line and into a side street he proceeded to execute the de- tour by swinging west to the town of Hertford and cutting back to rejoin the Old North Road some three miles north of \Vare. "Let us simply say that at \Yare we put on four tough chest- nuts to get us over the hilly stage ahead," he remarked. After the Old Korth Road leaves \Vare behind, it is a delight to travel. There is little or no traffic to speak of, and the countryside, glimpsed as skimpy and spotty at first, gradually becomes expansive. \Ve were fortunate enough to have a sunny day for our trip, and as we covered the neM three stages-YVare to Buntingford, Bunt- n ogargr shown on page 115 is available at these fine stores.
